Considering a Boating Outing to New York City?
The same skills needed to boat safely around Norwalk hold true in NYC (there are just more BIG ships). The Safe Harbor.US website has a wealth of information that applies to both locations and will enlighten you to other boater's concerns while navigating. The Port of New York and  New Jersey port district encompasses an area of about a 30-mile radius of the Statue of Liberty. This system of navigable waters runs over 650 miles of shoreline, and is considered one the finest natural harbors in the world. The port is, by tonnage, the third largest in the United States and the busiest on the East Coast.
Check out their website at http://thesafeharbor.us/Here are links to additionsl informative videos that give insight into how the "other half" approaches boating...

AIS Grows Up
AIS (Automatic Identification System) is a tracking system originally developed to allow commercial port operations Vessel Tracking Service managers identify, locate and track large commercial vessels. Legally, all passenger ships (regardless of size) and all ships of over 300 Gross Tons are required to transmit their AIS information and use the information received from other ships while navigating.
AIS has trickled down to pleasure boating in a big way since it was first mandated on commercial ships in 2002. Prices have dropped and new features have blossomed.
If you haven't yet experienced what AIS can do for you on your boat, click HERE to see a web based presentation of vessels in your area. Note that vessel types are color coded for identification, Blue = Passenger, Green = Cargo, Red = Tankers, Yellow = High Speed Craft, Blue = Tugs & Pilots, Purple = Yachts and smaller vessels. Click on any vessel and see all their pertinent data and even a picture!
